[mingle] what's the dream and what's the reality?

[lovetheme]

Lately the castle's nights have been very clear and almost warm, even up so high among the clouds as they are. But regardless of the weather, they are generally peaceful nights, and few things seem to stir during them...apart from the castle's inhabitants, be it with late-night roving or with sleep. The dreams, by extension, are at least undisturbed...if maybe not always pleasant. That sort of thing tends to vary by the person, of course.

But now--and for several nights, consecutively--the castle residents may find their dreams starting to take on stranger shapes: memories they've never had, friends that don't usually arrive, strangers they've never seen. These odd impressions might cling and continue to confuse even upon waking, vivid as they were; was it really just a dream, or maybe something more...? Does that newcomer in your dream remember you there too, in the daytime?

Either way, there seems to be an strange energy in the air during these nights. And it's bringing dreams together.

"Hmm...."

She takes a moment to think; her hands stop moving. Then she says, "Sometimes, it's good to disagree. If you keep everything locked up inside, then that makes you unhappy. And it makes the people who love you unhappy, too. After all, it's hard to help someone if you don't know what's wrong."

She goes back to sorting through the cutlery.

"No..." Chara says. "But. There are some things. That nobody can help you with. Or that nobody will."

Chara places the glass to one side. It probably isn't where it's supposed to be. It's probably just going to be in the way for everybody else. They can't do anything right, can they?

Chara abruptly stands up. "I should go."

The others look startled. Grune does as well, but unlike the others, she stands up with them.

"Oh, my, but the picnic hasn't even started yet. Don't you want to have a nice meal with everyone?"

Chara shakes their head. They keep shaking it, even as they take a step back.

"No," they say. "No. I don't feel like eating." Their throat's all tight anyway, and they're not sure they even could.
